Approach

There is a story of identical twins. One was a hope-filled optimist. "Everything is coming up roses!" The other was a said and hopeless pessimist. He thought that Murphy, as in Murphy's Law, was an optimist. The worried parents of the boys brought them to the local psychologist.

He suggested to the parents a plan to balance the twins'

personalities. "On their next birthday, put them in separate rooms to open their gifts. Give the pessimist the best toys you can afford, and give the optimist a box of manure". The parents followed these instructions and carefully observed the results.

When they peeked in on the pessimist, they heard him audibly complaining, "I don't like the color of this computer…I'll bet this calculator will break…I don't like this game…I know someone who's got a bigger toy car than this…"

Tiptoeing across the corridor, the parents peeked in and saw their little optimist gleefully throwing the manure up in the air. He was giggling. "You can't fool me! Where there's this much manure, there's gotta be a pony!"

Dreaming Works??

Here is an excerpt of a mail that I received recently. Dreaming of your goals and achieving them can be a fulfilling and satisfying aim in life.

“Julie, who lives in the Atlanta area, has been pursuing her
passion for figure skating for the past several years. The
email was to share pictures of one of her outings in which she medalled. The look on her face as she stood there victorious with the medal around her neck was priceless!
We've gotten frequent emails from Julie sharing with us the
different things she's had on her "dream" board. On one
occasion she emailed us to tell us she had realized every
single dream that she put on her board. Underscoring that washer closing statement that "I didn't dream big enough!"
Does visualization work? It certainly does for Julie, and for
millions of others who put it to work in their life. It all begins with a single thought and that thought changes everything to a reality only when you pursue it from the bottom of your heart. Thoughts change to pictures which can formulate into ideas and inspirations. So DREAM on to succeed.

All the best and bring out the best in you.

Failure..nah..nah.. not for me

Sir Edmund Hillary was the first man to climb Mount Everest. On May 29, 1953 he scaled the highest mountain then known to man-29,000 feet straight up. He was knighted for his efforts.
He even made American Express card commercials because of it! However, until we read his book, High Adventure, we don't understand that Hillary had to grow into this success.
You see, in 1952 he attempted to climb Mount Everest, but failed. A few weeks later a group in England asked him to address its members.
Hillary walked on stage to a thunderous applause. The audience was recognizing an attempt at greatness, but Edmund Hillary saw himself as a failure. He moved away from the microphone and walked to the edge of the platform..
He made a fist and pointed at a picture of the mountain. He said in a loud voice, "Mount Everest, you beat me the first time, but I'll beat you the next time because you've grown all you are going to grow... but I'm still growing!"

Dream..what u can

Dream what you want to dream;
Go where you want to go;
Be what you want to be,
Because you have only one life
And one chance to do all the things
You want to do.

May you have enough happiness to make you sweet,
Enough trials to make you strong,
Enough sorrow to keep you human and
Enough hope to make you happy.

The happiest of people don't necessarily
Have the best of everything;
They just make the most of
Everything that comes along their way.

The brightest future will always
Be based on a forgotten past;
You can't go forward in life until
You let go of your past failures and heartaches.

When you were born, you were crying
And everyone around you was smiling
Live your life so at the end
You're the one who is smiling and everyone
Around you is crying.

THE PRINCE AND THE GENIE

The Prince was driving around his Mother's estate one day when he accidentally ran over her most favourite corgi dog. The poor unfortunate dog was crushed to a pulp! The Prince got out of his car sat down on the grass and started crying. The whole world was already against him and now his mother would be mad at him as well. Suddenly he noticed a lamp half buried by his foot. He dug up the lamp and polished it. Low and behold, all of a sudden, a genie appeared.
" You've freed me from thousands of years of imprisonment", said the genie.
" For freeing me I grant you one wish".
"Well", said the Prince. "I have all the money and material things that I need, but let me show you this dog". They walked over to the splattered remains of the dog. " Do you think you can bring this dog back to life", asked the Prince. The Genie looked carefully at the remains and gently shook his head. "This body is far to gone for even me to bring back to life, isn't there anything else you would like"? The Prince thought for a moment and then reached into his pockets and took out two photographs. "I used to be married to this beautiful woman called Diana", said the Prince showing the genie the first photograph. "But now I love this woman called Camilla".  He showed the genie the second photograph. " You see Camilla isn't beautiful at all, do you think you can make Camilla as beautiful as Diana"?
The genie studied the two photographs and after a few moments said:

"Let's have a look at that dog again".
